@CiremoIV: However two face was mentioned specifically as batman's next destination, pretty clear continuation.

Thanks for the detailed, informed explanation. I appreciate it, and it does make a lot of sense as to the reality of the situation. I will keep it in mind when assessing the situation which keeps perfectly legitimate entertainment from being distributed legally in your country.

@PanicDriver: @box:

@sadisticfreak432: Indeed, this is why I have no interest in this game if it's really just multiplayer. I love me some co-op action, but I haven't played a competitive shooter lately that is a) balanced enough that you can have fun even if you're a casual gamer and b) isn't filled with a bunch of screamers, griefers,…

@b-radicate: mercs 2 did have online co-op, which frankly was the only way to play the game. :)

@XenoRaven: agreed, I loved XII - Gameplay, pacing, story - it was all still very FF at heart, and I'd love to see a same-minded sequel.

@RipSteakface: absolutely, the spartans in the books run the gamut of abilities, and use any capability to their advantage. Unfortunately that's hard to put into an FPS :)

@Save me: while not the case here, in my state a verbal contract is binding. If you have witnesses you could take a jerk like this to court for breach of contract.

@KeroseneClimax:

@MikeRox: No, the situation is not particularly humorous.

@CharlesNelsonReilly: last I checked it cost a heck of a lot more to import to the UK. It's an expensive place to do business.

It's still the cheapest current gen console in the UK market. It's still cheaper than the Wii, and we all know how much that costs to build...

@Hi-Im-Asylum: Last I checked, the books are also canon, and tell quite a bit more story than the games.

I'd love to call this the best xbla game I've played, but I still can't play an online mulitplayer game with one of my friends, even after the patch. Behemoth still can't get basic net code working, and they have even admitted it's a problem, but still haven't fixed it (it's fixed for most people, yes, but not all).…

@Jorge Rincon: Mindless troll ripoff.

@ColonelMunch: I haven't played halo since NXE came out (too busy with gears 2 :)), nor have I checked the setting options since the last title update, but last I checked the only thing that came through the speakers was proximity chat (which is another gripe - proximity chat should include people in the same vehicle…

I've never minded push to talk that much, it's nice not to hear people randomly exclaiming over each other (myself included, I get horrible with the "ah man.." and "no way, I nailed him!"). It actually encourages focused help from the people who can actually direct or warn people. Yes, you can turn off the mic, but…

@Rathus: Though it certainly has some scenes that show its roots. :) Nothing worst than the norm of course, but enough to raise an eyebrow when you know the heritage.

@Reil: Wait, so does that mean Mass Effect is an erotic game now? Dangit, now you made me feel... dirty...
